Happy Face Interview with Annaleigh Ashford and Khiyla Aynne (Paramount+)
On episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Annaleigh Ashford and Khiyla Aynne to discuss their original drama series HAPPY FACE.

Moore; the critically acclaimed Happy Face podcast from iHeartPodcasts and Moore; and the autobiography Shattered Silence, written by Moore with M. Bridget Cook. Jumping off from Moore’s true-life story, the Paramount+ Original Series follows Melissa (Ashford) and her incarcerated father, known as the Happy Face Killer (Dennis Quaid). After decades of no contact, he finally finds a way to force himself back into his daughter’s life. In a race against the clock, Melissa must find out if an innocent man is going to be put to death for a crime her father committed. Throughout, she discovers the impact her father had on his victims’ families and must face a reckoning of her own identity. Happy Face is now streaming on Paramount+ with new episodes weekly.Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.caContact: hello@themoviepodcast.caFOLLOW USDaniel on X, Instagram, LetterboxdShahbaz on X, Instagram, and LetterboxdAnthony on X, Instagram, and LetterboxdThe Movie Podcast on X, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Rotten Tomatoes Learn more about your ad choices.

Mickey 17 Review and Spoiler Discussion
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Anthony review and discuss Bong Joon Ho's MICKEY 17 starring Robert Pattinson. Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, Mickey (Pattinson) is as an "expendable" - a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong. The film also stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. Mickey 17 is now playing exclusively in theatres by Warner Bros. Pictures.Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.caContact: hello@themoviepodcast.caFOLLOW USDaniel on X, Instagram, LetterboxdShahbaz on X, Instagram, and LetterboxdAnthony on X, Instagram, and LetterboxdThe Movie Podcast on X, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Rotten Tomatoes Learn more about your ad choices.
